I like to call it STEAMwork, and say to students let's maximize the TEAM in STEAM

some students simply don't know how to collaborate or don't have an open mindset towards working with others.

students where deliberately inspired, taught, and invited to collaborate, and how their success grew. She lends this, in part, as an example of how to build greater equity in our teaching/learning environments.

there is growing agreement that scores on standardized tests of academic skills are incomplete measures of the important things that students learn from their teachers.

untested learning outcomes are measureable and that specific components of teaching influence them in nuanced and interesting ways.

Agency is the capacity and propensity to take purposeful initiative—the opposite of helplessness. Young people with high levels of agency do not respond passively to their circumstances; they tend to seek meaning and act with purpose to achieve the conditions they desire in their own and others’ lives.
